A late model car is a car that has been recently designed or manufactured, often the latest model. The precise definition of "late model" varies, but it generally refers to a car that is not old enough to be of historical interest. Late model cars are typically the highest class of local stock car racing vehicles at many race tracks in the United States and Canada. They are called late models because they are the latest models of cars like the Camaro, Mustang, and so on. Late model race cars are often custom-built and feature powerful engines with upwards of 600 brake horsepower. They are designed for high-speed racing and are significantly different from vehicles raced on asphalt. Varieties of late models include super late models, late models, and limited late models.
